Matt Groening
Creator of The Simpsons; named in Giuffre testimony about Epstein flight
Also known as: Matthew Abram Groening
Cartoonist and creator of The Simpsons, Futurama, and Disenchantment. Virginia Giuffre described in unsealed court documents (2019) that when she was approximately 16, Epstein directed her to give Groening a foot massage during a flight on Epstein's plane from Carmel, CA to Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Giuffre described the experience in unflattering physical detail but stated Groening drew Simpsons character sketches for her family members afterward. The documents do not allege sexual misconduct by Groening, and no criminal charges have been brought against him in connection with Epstein.
